Hanson v. Google Settlement Fund - Anybody Else Get a Check? | Warrior Forum - The #1 Digital Marketing Forum & Marketplace

It seems Howard Stern (the shock jock, not the lawyer) was also a plaintiff in the suit. I will use that from now on... I recently teamed up with Howard Stern and got a settlement from Google. Howard and I are close like that.

$20.50. After subtracting a spike in Adwords costs this month I'm about even. Shocking coincidence.

That is awesome, I just had to say that. Not a big fan of Howard Stern, but this would be a great way to market yourself,

  Yes, I got one for $26.55. I've also received sporadic checks over the past 2 or 3 years as a result of law suits I had no idea I was involved in. I remember one was for less than $1 - I think I tossed it. These days I seldom if ever go to the bank in person, and it would have cost me more than a dollar to drive there.

  I agree and am now wondering if being unknownly involved in this settlement caused all the sudden bans. I have always been honest and the way Google just treated me and many others should be against the law. Rude beyond rude.

Hi guys,

I think I tested the adwords many years ago for a few bucks. Only once. I didn't even know about this google action thing. I hate these class actions.

I got a check, for $0.03

MIne has to be the smallest one...I won't bother with it.

On the back of the paper it says if you had a change of address please complete the address changed and mail back to ....so and so

And guess what....I will have to put a postage stamp that cost is it $0.45, which is more than the check I received for $0.03?

I mean....do they need my new address? I don't want to cash 0.03 dollar check. Do I have to cash this?

Make sure you bank your checks
not matter how insignificant the amount.

$0.35 or $5.00 -- It doesn't matter.

It's not the amount that matters. It's the principle.

If you all toss your checks in the bin
then Google wins out yet again.

Actually, the lawyer is probably who wins. The check is from the fund. I doubt Google gets a refund on uncashed checks.

I will Google it in a bit, but right now I have no idea what the suit was about. I'm guessing it has to do with AdWords.

Anybody else get a check?

Yes, got actually 2 checks.

I trashed them as I figured that it is some kind of sneaky
trick. I did not hire these guys and did not sign anything
so why would they send me money.
